Illini Inquirer's Jeremy Werner chats with former Illinois basketball player Mike LaTulip about the Illini's first exhibition game, a 101-38 rout of St. Francis. LaTulip discusses what can actually be learned from an exhibition against an overmatched NAIA team, why Trent Frazier was his star of the game, what he saw from transfers Omar Payne and Alfonso Plummer, what stood out about Coleman Hawkins and Austin Hutcherson and his initial impressions of the freshmen. Mike also looks ahead to Friday's second exhibition against Indiana (Pa.) and gives his early thoughts on the 4-0 Chicago Bulls.
